three years at more than 10000 miles, or
nearly around the world. During the first
summer of his walking mania he attempted to
turn it to account by blowing. He went into
the field where has son was at work and asked
to be allowed TO guide the plow. He was
congratulating himself that be had found his
vocation, when the implement struck a root,
and both horses and plow came 10 a stand
still. Snider walked right On. The root
might stop a horse, but it could not stop
Snider. His son unfastened the plow and re-
sumed his work, while the father continued
his c~easeless journey.
The case was a puzzle for the physicians
from the first. The medical profession
seemed TO regard the trouble as seated in the
brain and not in the legs, and resulting from
a hallucination. But they could be Of no
benefit to the patient Notwithstanding their
diagnosis. Last winter he went into a dino
museum and made money enough in q few
months 10 support his family all winter,
never ceasing his FORMULATION even on the
cars in transit, walking back and forth on
the road in a baggage car.

REVIEW.

httlLh
New YORK. December %, 3 p.m.-The
lowest prices of to-day were made at the
opening. This was due TO the strike In
Reading, but, as later specials stated the
strike was of and that trains were run
ming regularly, before noon It old as hlgn
as GGl out of 154,100 shares, 7s.6OO
shares were of Reading. There was
some buying by insiders, but the main
gain was due to shorts covering. Lacka
wanna was the mex feature. 1t showed q
gain of over q per cent, caused partly ID
sympathy with Reading. There were
ramors of a very favorable statement to
be issued, and perhaps on increased diyi
dend, but no confirmation OF either.
There were many other bull points in
circulation and the CHANGERS earnings
were exhibited as proof positive OF their
financial prosperity, but it is now gener-
ally understood these are the gross earn
ings not the net. Their statements prove
nothing. Naturally the big bull card was
the settlement of the Reading strike, but
it is only the train hands. 1t has no
bearing on the miners wages. and that
is the real issue; whether they will &C
cept the Reading offers this remains yet
to be seen. Conservative operators here
or in London show no disposition TO load
up with stocks, on the contrary, after
delivery hour some stock was found be-
ing marketed, yet the closing tone was
fairly strong at about best prices of the
day. Bonds quiet, but firm.

the New York delegation was divided, and
on the New York delegation depended the
nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland. Manning ia
yored casting the vote Of ssate~ delegations as
a unit by their chairmcn. He was met by
bitter opposition, but held steadily to his
purpose and finally accomplished his object.
This insured the nomination to his candi-
date.
Soon after Mr.. Cleveland's install
iston he rendered Mr.. Manning the
secretaryship Of tho treasury, which was
accepted and held until about a year ago,
when, having experienced something like a
paralytic stroke, he felt obliged to tender his
resignation on account Of III health. Presi-
dent Cleveland was very loath to part with
bis cabinet officer, and put of accepting bis
resignation until IL became evident that Mr..
ManniDg's health depended upon his giving
up all care, when he was permitted TO retire
from his Office.
Being prevailed upon to accept the presi-
dency Of a new bank, tAe Western National

Manning was not only courageous, but
bright, and when he was about 20 years OF

was rising in the service OF The Argus, his
business connection being under the direc-
ton of one Of its proprietors, Calvin Com
stock, while be worked politically under Mr..
Cassidy. In 1865 Mr.. Manning became assO-
ciate editor with Mr.. Cassidy and soon after
succeeded 10 Mr.. Comstock's interest in the
paper. Mr.. Cassidy death, in 1913, left Mr..
Manning sole manager. lie married Miss
Mary Little ia 1858, but lost his wife after
having been married nearly thirty years,
being left with two'sons and a daughter.
The present Mrs. Manning, who became such
shortly before her husband was made a men,
Der Of President Cleveland's cabinet, is the
daughter of Mr.. William Freyer, of Albany.
Mr.. Manning, like a distinguished political
manager Of former times, Thurlow Weed,
steadily declined running for any elective
office, while manipulating the election of
others. He was long the disciple and conf
dant Of Mr.. Samuel j.. Tilden. His tastes, as
developed later in life, led him into the study
Of political economy, the history Of the gov
ernment's financial policy and the principles
Of banking.
In 1883, when Cleveland was governor Of
New York, the relationship between the fu-
ture president and the secretary Of the treas
ury were not only political, but social

BILL NYe AZ A DOCTOR.
He Reviews u Book and Gives Some
Practical Advice.

Dr. Fred. G. Valentine has just published
q small, olive green volume entitled "GG
Medical Don'ts." II is couched in perfectly
plain language, 50 that it may be readily un-
derstood by any plain, self made man with a
$50 cyclopedia and dictionary Of medical
terms in his pocket
In a list Of articles pronounced as difficult

rice, sagO, stale bread and tapiOca. Among
those articles easy OF digestion DR.. Valentine
names grapes, grouse and partridges. So
that poor people who wish to be well and
strong and avoid indigestion should avoid
buttered toast, salt meat, rice and stale
bread and subsist mainly upon grapes, grouse
and partridges.
This is really the first time that a New
York physician has had the moral courage to
come out and show people how to keep well
and avoid doctors bills. There can be no
doubt that people in the lower walks OF life
are too prone 10 load themselves down with
toast and tapiOca, when a light lunch of
grouse with a few pounds OF dollhouse grapes
or a brace Of partridges and a dozen night
ingales' tongues, with a little turtle soup and
Neapolitan ice cream, are all they need.

doctors bills are SO great while the
